Chapter 246: All on your own
Jake and Berg stood a few metres away from the army that was led by a gangster looking man when he asked a question pertaining Jake and Berg's identity.
"I would call myself the devil that will haunt, torment, torture and finally kill you all!" Jake declared.
"Ha!" The man laughed. "Just because you doned a scary mask, you think you are a big shot? Do you even know who we are, who I am?"
"You're from the Viper nest's guild, and so what?" Berg asked.
"Ha! And so we are going to take over your little city. And in case you don't know, I'm a B rank adventurer." The man smiled.
"Oh, I'm so scared and intimidated." Jake laughed sarcastically.
The man looked like his vein was going to pop out his head in frustration hearing the strange man talking to him so causally.
"Fine, I guess I will just have to teach you both a lesson." The man said as he causally walked towards his men and then looked out at Jake and Berg.
"I will give you a second chance right now. Surrender and leave here without a scratch or die and be eaten right here by beasts. Pick one." The B rank adventurer said.
"Let me ask you a question." Jake said as he stepped forward a bit. "Are you a big shot from your guild?"
"Ha!" The man scoffed. "Of course. I'm the second in command of the Viper nest."
"Good." Jake said as he glanced back at Berg. "I have stalled as much as I can. The others should be reaching here soon."
"Well? What's your response?" The B rank adventurer asked.
"I will say, Screw you!" Jake said with his middle finger pointed outwardly at the man.
"I want fifty of you all to attack that arrogant fool with the man beside him also!" The man shouted out loud and immediately, fifty men charged right at Jake and Berg.
"What tier is your sword at?" Jake asked Berg.
"Advanced tier." Berg replied.
"Good enough. Lend it to me now." Jake ordered with his hands outstretched.
Without wasting time or hesitating, Berg handed his longsword towards Jake who causally swung it around getting a hang of the weight.
Then he put the sword in its sheath and started infusing his Qi into it while his feet were wide apart and his hand on the hilt of the sword while staring at the fifty men heading their way.
'I haven't tried infusing my Qi into the sword in its sheath before, this will be my first and I'm excited to see the results.' Jake thought with a smile on his face beneath the mask.
Jake stood there unmoving as he waited for the men to get within range but it didn't take long as the men were finally a metre away from him.
Then in one smooth fast motion, Jake dew his sword out quickly and then he sheathed it back while turning around to look at Berg. Then he handed the sword back.
Berg was confused and so was the others as nothing happened. They just saw Jake draw his blade quickly like a flash then he sheathed it and handed it back to Berg.
But their confusion was soon cleared as the men that were charging right at the enemy, felt something wrong and without warning, an invisible Qi strike hit them all decimating them all alive.
It didn't take a second for the bodies of the fifty men to fall down with cuts on all their necks spurting out blood.
Everybody's mouths were wide agape including Berg as they didn't understand what happened here and how a single person could kill fifty men with a single swing of his sword.
'This guy is growing dangerously strong every single time. Is there even anybody that could contend with his strength at this rate?' Berg thought.
All of them were unaware that this skill was the same as Qi slash that he always performed but the difference here was that the strike was invisible making it hard to track unless the opponents had high level Qi sense.
Then the strike was also very fast and so the performer must do all the movements very quickly therefore unleashing the slash which would move very fast towards the opponent and deadly killing them.
(It was almost similar to a wind strike that mages performed)
"Was… was that Qi?" The B rank adventurer asked in shock.
'Who the hell is this? From the start of the fight, he has been oddly calm and causal about everything. I didn't know he has this amount of strength.' The B rank adventurer thought.
Then he shook his head snapping him back to reality as he watched Jake's smug looking posture which got the B rank adventurer furious.
"I will make sure you pay for what you just did you s*n of a b*tch!" The B rank adventurer shouted in anger.
"Oh! You haven't realized yet have you? Haven't you realized that I'm stronger than you?" Jake chuckled.
"No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to match over five hundred men!" The B rank adventurer shouted then he turned towards his men.
"All of you! Attack that man and bring me his head!" The B rank adventurer shouted.
The men didn't waste time as they all charged right at Jake with a battle cry of some sort.
"Darn it! I can't do this alone, where the hell are Alex and the rest?" Jake shouted in frustration as he equipped his Gauntlets.
"Right here boss!" A voice shouted. "I'm sorry we are late."
Jake turned around and he could see Alex coming over with Peter by his side and over hundred men walking behind them.
"Someone made us take a detour." Alex said while glaring at Peter.
"What? Won't I shop for new weapons?" Peter asked sharply.
"Well, as punishment, you all are all on your own." Jake said as he went back and let the others take the front wheel.
"What?!!??!!" Peter shouted.
